The UAE has risen by one place in a global ranking of countries perceived as the least corrupt - the only Arabian Gulf state to make an improvement in this year's survey.
The Berlin-based Transparency International's annual study of outside perceptions of dealing with public sector officials showed the UAE had risen to a tie for 27th, alongside Qatar, which fell five places from last year.
The group asks governance and business analysts to rank 176 nations on the likelihood of bribery and the accountability of public officials. But despite revolutions during the Arab Spring last year that overthrew governments perceived as corrupt, not all newly democratic Arab nations have improved.
